Beginner Writing Lessons

            My favorite hobby is playing drums.  I spend a lot of my free time playing drums.  I started learning to play drums when I was 9 years old.  I played in my school’s band.  When I was 12, I got a private drum teacher and started to really enjoy playing.

My parents bought me a drum set and I started practicing every day after school.  It was very loud, but my mother never complained.  I improved a lot, and playing drums has been my favorite hobby ever since.

Now, I play drums in a band with my friend Dan, who plays guitar.  We write songs, perform, and practice twice a week.  It’s still as fun as it was when I first started playing!
